Love and Imani

Romantic poem about faith (imani) and love. For the A-Z Poetic Form Contest. Kwansaba.

Have faith in me, my sweet dreamer.
Entrust me fully with your fragile heart.
We'll show them love; this tender pearl
will grow to be a mighty oak
whose canopy will shade us from trials
and whose company will be loyally felt
long after we move on from life.
